As anyone done a System restore using a USB hard drive

To stop having to go back to Windows 8 every time you do a refresh is there a way of dumping the SS Hard drive to a large USB stick?

Sure, no problem. I'm using Acronis True Image as imaging software to create backups.

After getting a replacement device it was no problem to restore the backup from the previous device. I just had to perform the Windows activation and everything was up and running again.

Good luck,
Robert.
